<p>FC5 comes with samba v3.0.21b and FC6 has version 3.0.23c. The current samba RPM version from <em>yum</em> at the time of writing for FC5/6 is v3.0.24. It is highly recommended to use the latest version. </p>
<p>The required RPM packages for samba in Fedora are <em>samba, samba-client, samba-common</em>. Install through <em>yum</em> if any of them is missing. </p>
<blockquote>
  <pre>[root@pptp ~]# yum install samba samba-common samba-client</pre>

<strong>A3.2 Fedora Core 4 </strong><br>
(last update: 6 March 2006)
<p>FC4 comes with samba v3.0.14a. The samba project released v3.0.20 on 20 August 2005. Here is a quote from the v3.0.20 release note about winbind.</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>-- quote --<br>
    Winbindd has been completely rewritten in this release to support
an almost completely non-blocking, asynchronous request/reply
model.  This means that winbindd will scale much better in 
large domain environments and on high latency networks.<br>
-- quote --
  </p>
</blockquote>
<p>It is highly recommended to upgrade samba to v3.0.20 or above. The latest samba v3.0.21c rpms for FC4 can be found in <a href="http://us5.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/Fedora/RPMS/i386/core/4/">here</a>. Download a copy and then update samba with command &quot;rpm -Uvh samba*.rpm&quot;.</p>
<p>Please go to <a href="poptop_ads_howto_5.htm#smbconf">Section 9.1</a> to continue the Samba configuration.</p>
<p><strong>Note: </strong>
Samba v3.0.21 has a bug on the oplock code. Avoid this version. Use v3.0.21a or above. </p>
